Patagonia House

Really who goes to Coyhaique in Winter? We did because we are trying to ski all of the ski areas in South America. We had the place to ourselves and enjoyed great personal service. I would highly recommend staying here if you are in the region. It is just a couple of minutes out of town. Their sign is a little hard to see since it sets back a few feet from the roadway. The wood tones and tiles that they used make you feel like you are in a natural setting. I also liked there not being any television. The WiFi was broken when we arrived but Ruth had it fixed two days later and let us use the connection down by her house until it was repaired. If you are an animal lover like I am you will be glad to know that Ruth started a SPCA in the town and that says a lot to me about the kind of person she is. The town is a good staging point for some great scenery, but the infrastructure and dinning choices are few and far between in the city.

Patagonia House is a true diamond in the rough. The comfortable, private and quiet rooms and fantastic restaurant offer a wonderfully relaxing experience for the traveler. The grounds, friendly staff and excellent hospitality made it a welcome begin and end to our vacation in Patagonia.

I stayed here with friends, and we instantly felt at home. The highlights for me were the delicious breakfasts, comfortable beds, blackout curtains for catching up on sleep, and the hot tub, which cost extra. The staff accommodated requests and helped us coordinate the airport shuttle. I also enjoyed their gift shop, which had well-curated sweaters, keychains, gin, etc.
